Kerri-Anne Kennerley crashes Studio 10 to promote her musical Pippin – three months after being sacked from the breakfast show
She was dumped from Channel Ten’s breakfast program Studio 10 three months ago.
But Kerri-Anne Kennerley had the last laugh on Tuesday when she crashed the set to discuss her new musical Pippin.
The show’s co-hosts Sarah Harris and Tristan MacManus were interviewing Rhonda Burchmore, when the 67-year-old crashed the program.

‘Hello, I’d just thought I would pop by. Rhonda, love you, I can’t really hear you, but I was just being a naughty girl throwing myself by,’ Kerri-Anne said.
A shocked Sarah added: ‘Good morning! It is so lovely to see you. Are you surviving?’
Kerri-Anne told viewers ‘I am surviving down here’, before discussing her role in new musical Pippin.

‘It’s almost killing me but so much fun! We have the most brilliant acrobats, the most fabulous dancers,’ she explained.
She went on to tell Rhonda: ‘You’d fit right in. Actually I wish it was you. Do you want a job now?’
‘I’m loving it with these kids. Pippin will be wonderful… but I don’t want to interrupt the show so I better go,’ Kerri-Anne said before walking off the set.

Kerri-Anne will be joining the cast of stage musical Pippin, which opens at the Lyric Theatre in Sydney next month.
Entertainment reporter Peter Ford shared the news on The Morning Show in October, saying that Kerri-Anne has been cast in the role of Grandma Berthe.
In the popular musical, an acrobatic troupe tells the story of Pippin, a man who longs to find passion and adventure in his life.

It comes after the Logie Hall of Fame recipient was made redundant from Studio 10 in August.
Kerri-Anne fought back tears as she addressed her sacking live on air, less than 24 hours after losing her job in a cost-cutting measure.
She appeared to shake with emotion while bidding farewell to viewers.
The TV veteran acknowledged that the coronavirus pandemic had made it necessary to tighten the budget, and thanked her friends and colleagues for their support.
‘I just know I’m back on the “lazy Susan” of television. Yeah, it’s very, very tough for a lot of people,’ she began.

‘But I’ve always worked on a personal level, the Charles Darwin theory that says to survive you don’t need to be the most intelligent, you don’t have to be the strongest, but you have to be, to survive, the most adaptable,’ she added.
Kerri-Anne, who was axed from Channel 10 along with 25 other staff members, went on to say just how much she treasures the friendships she’s made along the way.
‘I’ve had a ball! And the reason why I’ve got this outfit today is because, if you’re being run out of town, get in front of the parade or get in front of the crowd and make it look like a parade!’ she said with a salute.
